The amyloid-b 42 (Ab42) is thought to play a central role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, the molecular mechanisms by which Ab42 induces neuronal dysfunction and degeneration remain elusive. Mitochondrial dysfunctions are implicated in AD brains. Whether mitochondrial dysfunctions are merely a consequence of AD pathology, or are early seminal events in AD pathogenesis ...

We present a classification of the so-called “additive symmetric 2-cocycles” of arbitrary degree and dimension over Zp, along with a partial result and some conjectures for m-cocycles over Zp, m > 2. This expands greatly on a result originally due to Lazard and more recently investigated by Ando, Hopkins, and Strickland, which together with their work culminates in a complete classification of ...

Abstract. A concept called stochastic complementation is an idea which occurs naturally, although not always explicitly, in the theory and application of finite Markov chains. This paper brings this idea to the forefront with an explicit definition and a development of some of its properties. Applications of stochastic complementation are explored with respect to problems involving uncoupling p...
